Chapter 24: Tell Me Where She Is
Shen Li, who had always listened to her sister the most, understood immediately.
"I know, Sister. I haven't been sad for a long time, just a bit aggrieved."
Shen Ci smiled upon hearing this: "Since you like this line of work, you must be prepared for emergencies at any time, don't shed tears easily. The entertainment industry is the most ever-changing. It's possible that the tears you shed out of grievance a second ago haven't been wiped dry, and a better role will come to you the next second."
Shen Li nodded with a smile, and Zhao Meina on the side also said: "Sister is right. Moreover, in the first class we entered school, the teacher said that there are only small actors, no small roles. Shen Li is so beautiful, even if she plays a small transparent, she will definitely be remembered."
"Exactly, exactly."
The roommates nodded in agreement.
With such roommates accompanying her, even if she wasn't by her sister's side, Shen Ci felt quite relieved.
As a result, the next day, Xu Zishan deliberately sat in a position near Shen Li in the cafeteria to show off.
"Shanshan, you are really amazing, taking down such an "important" role without making a sound."
"Exactly, "A-Yu" is the one with the heaviest scenes among the roles auditioned that day, right?"
"In the original work, this role also has the most scenes among all the maids, and it only goes offline in the later stages."
Several classmates from Class 8 crowded around Xu Zishan to flatter her. Everyone knew privately that her father had invested money in the crew.
Her family had strength, and she would definitely be the one among the classmates of the same grade to emerge first in the future, so although everyone knew clearly that she was a capital-backed person, they still wanted to get on good terms with her.
Xu Zishan glanced at Shen Li, her tone hard to hide her pride: "Maybe the director felt I had potential. Anyway, I think it's fine to play anyone, I don't care."
After speaking, she also nodded lightly with an innocent expression, as if she was affirming what she had just said.
Shen Li and the others were sitting at the next table and naturally heard these words. Wang Chuhan rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Bringing capital into the group and still wanting to show off to the whole world, really shameless."
"Exactly." Sun Yuan curled her lips, clipped a piece of pork ribs into Shen Li's tray: "Shen Li, don't pay attention to her, whoever touches this kind of person will be unlucky."
If it weren't for her sister's words yesterday, Shen Li would definitely still be internally consuming at this time.
But after listening to her sister's analysis yesterday, she thought about it. As a newcomer, playing a villain in her debut work was indeed not very clever, and the role of "A-Yu" betrayed the master and was ungrateful, and the character setting was particularly vicious and ugly. She only took a section of the plot to perform when auditioning. If she really arrived at the crew, she might not be able to fully substitute into such a vicious character.
Being replaced might not be a bad thing.
Seeing her expression as usual, the few looked at each other and knew she really didn't care. Zhao Meina smiled and said: "Sister's words are still useful."
In the evening, Shen Ci turned out all the brand-name clothes she had bought recently in the dorm, thinking that she should dress more formally to attend the cocktail party.
But after trying a circle, she found that although she had bought a pile of brand names, none of them were prepared for the cocktail party. After all, she hadn't thought that she would be invited to attend any investor cocktail party.
"I have a "Dolce & Gabbana" dress, it's new, do you want to try it?" Gu Lianxing leaned on the bed frame on the side and suggested to Shen Ci.
Shen Ci scanned Gu Lianxing's supermodel-like slender figure up and down, looking embarrassed: "I shouldn't be able to wear your dress, right?"
"I bought the loose version, you should be able to wear it."
As she spoke, Gu Lianxing pulled out her suitcase and rummaged through it. Before long, she pulled the dress in the dust cover from the very bottom.
Shen Ci put it on and tried it. Don't say, it fit just right.
At the very least, it looked more reliable than her own clothes.
Gu Lianxing patted the chair again: "You sit down, I'll give you a big wave."
Shen Ci looked at the curling iron in Gu Lianxing's hand, subconsciously touched her right forearm, pressed down the discomfort in her heart, and shook her head: "No need, I don't like curly hair."
Gu Lianxing didn't notice anything unusual, just nodded: "You are beautiful, you look good no matter what."
Huading Starlight Building, 7:00 PM, Shen Ci arrived as scheduled.
"Miss Shen, very punctual."
Lu Jinzhao ran out to pick up people the first time he received the message. Even though Shen Ci was wearing borrowed clothes today and didn't specially do her hair, Lu Jinzhao still couldn't hide the amazement in his eyes.
It was a casual and low-key sense of beauty.
He gentlemanly extended his arm, and Shen Ci also generously took it; it was merely social etiquette between the opposite sex at a high-society cocktail party, nothing to be avoided.
But didn't know that the moment the two entered the banquet hall, the pair of backs was captured by a shutter button.
"Qiqi, what are you taking pictures of? Do you know them?"
In the distance of the corridor, Lin Biqi snorted proudly: "Hmph, the girl just now is the Shen Ci I told you about who seduced Brother Li Xiao. I've inquired about it. It's rumored in the school that Shen Ci broke up with Brother Li Xiao abruptly. This situation must have something fishy. Brother Li Xiao must also suspect that she has found a new home, but didn't expect to be photographed by me today."
As she spoke, she sent the photo she took to Li Xiao.
"Brother Li Xiao, you still can't forget such a woman?"
Li Xiao had been waiting at the West District Girls' Dorm for three days and hadn't seen Shen Ci. He happened to go home today and didn't expect to receive such a photo.
In the photo, Shen Ci was wearing a black dress, her fair and beautiful back exposed by nearly half, creating a strong visual impact with the black on her body, beautiful and wanton, and at the same time making Li Xiao feel dazzling.
She, who had always been conservative, wouldn't even wear black silk once when he begged her, but now she was dressed so sexily for other men?
"Where is this?"
Li Xiao's fingers typing were trembling uncontrollably, his eyes staring fixedly at the photo on the screen, wishing he could spray fire.
Li's father and mother at the dinner table noticed their son's abnormality and couldn't help but look at each other subconsciously.
Li's mother cared: "Son, what's wrong with you?"
Li Xiao held his phone, as if he hadn't heard his mother's words.
And Lin Biqi didn't reply the first time after receiving Li Xiao's message. She knew Brother Li Xiao must be very angry now.
But it wasn't enough. She wanted to make Brother Li Xiao anxious and violent. Once his anger accumulated to the peak, she would definitely make that Shen Ci look good!
And Li's mother was worried and was about to step forward to care, but didn't want Li Xiao, who had been waiting for a reply for a long time, to suddenly pick up the wine glass in front of him and smash it to pieces!
"Ah—"
Li's mother screamed in fright, and Li's father then scolded: "Little brat! What kind of madness are you making for no reason?"
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry." Li Xiao took a deep breath forcefully, trying to suppress the surging anger in his chest, and sent a message to Lin Biqi again to question: "Tell me where she is immediately, otherwise don't appear in front of me in the future"
Lin Biqi looked at the message and raised her lips proudly. Through the screen, she felt Brother Li Xiao's anger.
She replied unhurriedly: "Huading Starlight Building, top floor V8 banquet hall" ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
